My favorite standard Microsoft fonts

Design and development types take fonts very seriously. They even make documentaries about them.
By almost no one’s standards am I either. Still, I love a good fight over typeface. Why I’d really never fit the mold as a serious graphic designer, though, is because I’m not one to giggle at the standard set of Microsoft [...]

Wordpress themes I’ve seen used well

There are oodles of Wordpress themes, and I’ve gotten the chance to play with the backend of more than a few.
While I wouldn’t want anyone to go and brand on the same theme, I do like the idea of showing folks how top flight products can take hold on little more than a template. Below, [...]

ChristopherWink.com: Independently hosted and spruced up

Well this is overdue.
Exactly 575 days after my first post on this incarnation of ChristopherWink.com, I’ve done a massive redesign. If you’re in a feed reader, come on over and browse.
There is so much left for me to do, though. A lot of usability, design and organization elements remain janky. We’ll get to that. For [...]

Four ways to improve the Philadelphia magazine Web site

A host of people smarter than I am call Philadelphia magazine home.
Better writers, reporters, editors, designers, photographers and more. I suspect they know worlds more about the business model, their print product and Web presence, but I can’t help but think Phillymag.com has a lot of work to be done.

Blavatar, banner for ChristopherWink.com

Mark this off the list of simple things I wanted to get done for this site.
I made the above banner, though I don’t have plans for using it as a header. Rather, it’ll serve its purpose as a focus when I need one, in places like on my blogging experience page. Something that no site [...]

My Life To-do List: A Web site to chronicle my obsession

ChristopherWink.com was always meant to be my professional Web site, where I blogged about the interests and experiences that involve being a young journalist today. I decided I needed a place to display my more personal experiences, particularly pursuing My Life To Do List. I am announcing the soft launch of that site today.
